Hey guys and or ladies. I'm currently working on a 82 shorted. It's just a project. I bought the truck back in may. So far I have put in a Tci 350 trans and a set of long tube headers. While driving it on thanksgiving day I noticed a lack of power and developed a knocking. I figured now was as good of a time as any to tear it down and build it back right.. I have learned a lesson don't drive 7 hours to buy a old truck in the dark. Lol I've definitely found all the jerry rigged things the previous owner has done. Anyways I've pulled both front fenders and that's how she sets now. Cleaning up the firewall and under hood wiring is next on list along with replacing all steering and suspension components. I will try to upload pics but so far this forum hasn't a allowed me to do so

Howdy! Mechanical issues aside, it looks like its a great truck. I hope you are keeping the old Outlaw wheels on it.
